# Micro vs Imprint

The clearest difference is rating: Imprint at 4.8 against Micro's 2.0. Imprint also leads on ratings volume (56K vs 1) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). Micro's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Micro sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Imprint sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Imprint holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imprint has 56K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
